Apologies for top posting - only android is available to me and I cannot get it to bottom post!<br>

I found in the past that changing the user job line did not work. I concluded that the line was stored when you created the recording rule. You will need to either delete the recording rule(s) and recreate them
<br>
OR change the called script.<br>

How are you starting and stopping mythbackend? On a systemd system,<br>
the old ways of doing that no longer work properly. The correct<br>
commands for a systemd system are:<br>
<br>
systemctl start mythtv-backend<br>
systemclt stop mythtv-backend<br>
<br>
and restarting is:<br>
<br>
systemctl restart mythtv-backend<br>
<br>
To see what mythbackend's status is:<br>
<br>
systemctl status mythtv-backend<br>
